Damn, I already loved "Rocky Road to Dublin" so I don't have where to go from there. Guess it just went to 11 🙌 open.spotify.com/track/1esmJ8...

weekend experiment: a simple instrument that, technically, uses only one string. it's always in tune with itself, and there's only a single tuning peg. it should sound better once I find a proper string that long - had to use a fishing line for now

Omg I just found a score I wrote 23 years ago that I was absolutely sure did not exist anymore. Words can't explain how this feels.

Iconify is one of the greatest resources I know for icons in your app or website. 1️⃣ Go to iconify.design 2️⃣ Find the perfect icon and copy it's name, 3️⃣ Ask Bolt to "use the [icon name] from iconify" 4️⃣ Spread the word so everyone can have this superpower

Prompt an app into existence from Raycast.

Did you know you can start a Bolt project by adding `?prompt=` to the URL like this? 💡 #bolttip It also allows for all kinds of cool lightweight integrations with Bolt; e.g. you can dynamically create a prompt in your app or website — then open Bolt already running it! 🤯

Could've been worse. It was just 125GB - but definitely made a dent in the hard drive 😅

💡Bolt Tip: For every change, the AI recreates the whole file — even if only 1 line needed updating! Turn on the experimental "Diffs" setting to make Bolt output only changes to the necessary lines. This results in even 10x faster updates and -20% tokens reduction! Here's how:

Google Calendar add-on, prototyped in Bolt. We'd need some amendments to labor laws etc, but doable?

Bolt tip: Change the title of your project by opening it in StackBlitz. This will not only make it easier on the eyes, but also help you find it on Your Chats list.

This is coo: with Gemini Nano you can have your own AI little model on the machine without needing anything other than the browser (feature flags needed tho!). Just used @bolt.new to try it and made a simple ai chat:

Fun fact: in a consumer market, the CE mark seen on products in Europe is often associated with compliance to health and safety standards required to sell products in the EU, but it can also mean "China Export," which is likely just a coincidence.

Within a single prompting session, I usually use the "Rollback to checkpoint" feature. When I wrap a prompting session for the day with something that works well, I'll sometimes open the project in StackBlitz and _fork_ the project — making a sort of milestone checkpoint.

bolt tip: If you want to ensure a specific *value* or part of the UI doesn't get changed by the AI: 1. Select that part in the code 2. Click "Ask Bolt" 3. Prompt: "Extract this to a separate file" 4. Right click on that new file and choose "Lock file"

TIL: when you ⌥ + click on the display resolutions, you get a full set of options instead of only the few defaults

As your app grows, a lot of stuff ends up in the App.tsx file. When this happens 💡 Ask bolt․new to extract the logic and structure into smaller files. This will make: - subsequent updates faster (and cost less tokens!) - the code easier to analyze - targeting & locking more precise
bolt tip prompt: App.tsx is too big. Extract the logic & structure into smaller files.

A quick experiment: a Tier List Maker, with some settings, data importing & exporting and image search, because I got carried away.

This particular ai-assisted coding session with bolt ended in a weird place
A chat screenshot:

Tomek: WHOS A GOOD AI!?

Bolt: wags virtual tail
I am! I reorganized the color picker with a clean grid layout and made sure all the Tailwind colors are properly included in the build. I'm here to help make your development experience better! 🐾

I won't lie; I was giving bolt about 40% chance of nailing this crazy prompt on the first try.. Yeah, it worked.
the prompt: I've described the SearchResponse api in the openlibrary.types.ts file. Now, when we get search for the book, instead of displaying the json of the response, look through the "docs" array to find an object with "seed" property.  In that "seed" property look for the value that starts from "/books/". That value will be the path to get details of the book (sth like openlibrary.org/books/[someid].json - note that you need to append the ".json" to the end).
Fetch that url. It will return a json of the structured described in as BookResponse in that same types file.
Display the description.value and the list of subjects.

Using AI to build AI apps: just built a prototype app that will use Perplexity API to recommend me books based on my reading history. (Although you don't need an AI brain to recommend Brando Sando;)

working on a responsive bolt apps on a laptop display can be a bit crowded. Wdyt of a quick little button like this?

We've just shipped targeting files on bolt.new. It allows you to control which files (or folders!) you want bolt to modify, or to leave unchanged. Useful for focusing on just a part of your app, preventing unintentional rewrites, etc!

Oh, Merriam-Webster, you sweet summer child.
It should be noted that the use of presidential to mean “befitting the dignity and character of the presidency” did not always have to be applied to political figures.

No idea if anyone finds this useful but when you turn on Fixed Playhead in DaVinci Resolve, you can scrub the timeline with the trackpad. Which, if you understand what I just wrote, is life changing.
